Cultivating a Resilient Future: The Edible Landscapes Project

At Vector Group Charitable Trust, we build resilient communities. A core part of that vision is kai resilience — empowering people to grow their own food and strengthen local food systems. We are proud to announce a key project in this space: the Edible Landscapes Project.

A magazine for change

This is not only about putting plants in the ground — it is a movement. Our flagship is a new magazine showcasing the world of edible landscapes: a hub for inspiration, education, and connection.

Imagine stories of backyards, schools, and community spaces transformed into lush, productive food forests — innovative projects and practical knowledge showing that growing your own food can be accessible and deeply rewarding.

What we are growing

The magazine will share knowledge and build community. We will feature:

• Inspiring gardens — from small urban plots to large community food forests, and how permaculture principles create sustainable ecosystems
• Educational opportunities — workshops and initiatives that teach people of all ages to design, plant, and maintain edible landscapes
• Stories of resilience — how local growing strengthens food security and reduces reliance on long-distance supply chains

The Edible Landscapes Project is a call to action: get your hands dirty, learn new skills, and join a growing movement planting seeds for a more resilient, delicious future — one garden at a time.
